Well...it's a love hate relationship. If you take the time and do the maintenance, it's rewarding. But stupid mistakes can cost you time and money. By time...I mean months to fully rebuild. By money...you can lose everything in weeks.
This tank I've had going for 15 years has been through 3 major rebuilds where I considered getting out. Main goal is to make all your maintenance easy...
Edit - thought I'd post what 'easy maintenance' is. You don't need this...but it sure makes your stay in this hobby easier. I have a new controller going in next in a few days. Last one shit the bed. $1000 lost in the old - $1200 just spent in the new.
This is the behind the scenes to my reef tank. I'll answer any questions...
Nice tank...any more pics?
